Dropping Jesus /second thread

[Desert Snake]

Good evening
This is an announcement that hopefully, will affect arguments, or rather what could be irrelevant arguments, presented to accordance with my religious beliefs.
I'm dropping Jesus, as a religious aspect of my beliefs. This may not affect arguments in the Scriptural context /it won't/, so forth, however, in any personal manner of argumentation, i hope that everyone reading this, will take that fact into consideration. This isn't a debate thread.

Thanks

You might want to change your username because people are going to assume from that.

Yes...

It means not adhering to Jesus in a religious manner, so forth.

 

[RationalSkeptic]

It means not adhering to Jesus in a religious manner, so forth.

Thank you for the clarification and I personally think it is for the better if that means anything.

Sure

 

[Jumi]

Why? How?

 

[Treks]

Are you becoming a Jew?

 

[Desert Snake]

Are you becoming a Jew?

I'm syncretic.

 

[Desert Snake]

Why? How?

/It isn't a fit into my religious belief system. /*shrugs* I incorporated Jesus into my syncreticism, and it just wasn't compatible, in the broader religious context. Not sure if you want anything more detailed, than that.
/how? I assume you mean that, like 'why'.

 

[Vinayaka]

Doesn't syncretic, by definition, just mean a combination of beliefs? Doesn't it also imply that you get to do the choosing?

Yes, however, that syncreticism can be strict, or broader, so forth. I would not just randomly choose something, if it does not work with the other aspects of the beliefs. My syncreticism isn't really, really strict, but it isn't broad by any means, either. I personally tend to set the 'default' definition at a 'stricter' meaning. (personal preference, I guess) How one sets that definition might depend on their religious background, and factors like that. I share some similarities in belief with the Universalists, but, for reasons of clarity /example, many people misinterpret what is meant when a syncretist uses words like 'god', or whatever/, I simply use the basic idea/label of syncretic, and then, if the context arises, explain what that means to me /personally/. as opposed to someones elses syncreticism/

hope that makes sense

So I can't call you Disc anymore?



Ah, do you mean you don't believe in Jesus anymore?

It just means that it isn't a part of my religious belief system.

Yes I have dropped Jesus also, he was a good stepping stone but like all stepping stones we must move onward until there are no more stones.

That isn't my perspective, but, whatever. I suppose if you think of religious texts like stepping stones, it might make sense

Yes to me it does make a lot of sense, and that is all I need.
